It says: "The Gems cryptographic token is powered by Counterparty. Once a Gems account is created, it automatically includes a Counterparty wallet. Using the wallet is as simple as using the Gems app. Gems even makes trading easy. Sending gems and bitcoins between users is as simple as sending an instant message."

Yes you can store bitcoins and any other counterparty tokens in the Gems wallet. In the app we will display the XGEM and BTC balances.

After the btc funds and the gems have been spent, it's possible to reward the development team by taking a small fee from the advertising models: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/758004.msg9017388#msg9017388.
This is far down the line and will be discussed with the community if and when it becomes relevant.

Price is at a low now and will probably rise. XGEM will rise against BTC and BTC will rise against USD. They will have enough funds

it's a conservative tentative date.

Under promise and over deliver.

If you check "legitimate" coins with active development teams (there aren't many) you will actually be surprised with the statistics.

Where can you see it? I still need to buy

My thoughts exactly..

If you are on Gems subscriber list, check your e-mail for a surprise! 

Thanks for the feedback, glad to hear your purchase went smoothy! As for the Nxtty, please refer earlier to this thread; Gems is built in Counterparty and has fundamental improvements and differences from Nxtty, it's not much of a comparison other than they both have messaging. Pretty much everything else is fundamentally different, business models, upcoming features, advertisement platform, etc (plus, being build on a much better platform such as Counterparty compared to NXT). We believe Gems is a very justified price for the product and work they will be delivering.

Thanks for the feedback again though, it's much appreciated!
